...research for the cover story on Vinoba Bhave [TIME, May 11];. Much of the time was spent trekking through the tiger-and the elephant-infested jungles. Since Bhave and his followers are strict practition ers of ahimsa (nonviolence), and are not even supposed to resist a man-eat ing tiger or a rogue elephant, each vil lage we passed through furnished us with a corps of drummers to scare off the wild beasts.

Lewis, 'Millionaire' Charles E. Wilson or 'Red-hunt ing' Joe McCarthy, he is influencing the reaction of readers in a somewhat nonobjective way, even though he can defend his choice of words with undisputed proof. Honest newspapermen will admit, also, that they unavoidably influence reader reaction by [the placement of] articles . . . The mere fact that an article...
